Pros

None - the money and time off isn't worth your mental health!

Cons

Seriously stay away from this place! Can't say enough about how bad it is. Never knew what is was like to work in a real corporate atmosphere until I got out, and I mean I walked out after many years of abuse. Working there is like being in an abusive relationship. No real HR to go to and management is horrific! People that have had the guts to leave are all now living and working happily but all suffer from post traumatic stress syndrome! Just stay far away and if you are unlucky enough to still be there GET OUT!

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
